Reeling for Literature: A Media Specialist Teaching How to Watch Films in Class Presenter: Anna McClellan, English Teacher and U of I Librarian/Practicum Student at Teutopolis High School and Teutopolis Unit 50 Libraries Teachers often show movies in class, but too frequently, the learning stops there. As a media specialist, you can help teachers make this process a thinking activity, rather than a free day. In this workshop, you will learn the basics of educating students on film techniques so you can offer to teach a lesson before instructors show movies in class. By having students analyze lighting, angles, and framing as they watch, an educator can marry her desire for critical thinking with the students’ interests in multimedia. Help create critical viewers so students can go beyond mindlessly consuming media!
